Pashtun leaders protest worldwide to demand PTM leader Manzoor Pashteen's release
Pashtun community members recently protested against the arrest of Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) chief Manzoor Pashteen.
The PTM has been hosting several protest events across the globe over the arrest of the PTM chief.
On Friday (Dec. 11), a massive protest rally was organised in Frankfurt, Germany and Belgium, in which a large number of Pashtun activists participated, reported ANI.
The protesters were seen shouting slogans like “Pakistan is killing, the world is watching,” “Stop the Pashtun Genocide,” and “Free free Manzoor Pashteen”.
Similarly, many Pashtun political activists gathered in front of the White House in Washington, DC with banners reading “Terrorist State Pakistan” to condemn the arrest of Manzoor Pashteen, the Indian news agency reported.
In London, a delegation of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement submitted a memorandum at the UK Prime Minister’s House at 10 Downing Street about Manzoor Pashteen’s detention by Pakistani security agencies, reported ANI.
Pashteen was by police in Pakistan's Balochistan province on December 4.
He was produced before a court later which handed him over to the police for seven days of physical remand.
